Foster Home

I was in foster care for a few months earlier this year. My house was so messy, It was unhealthy, and I was not allowed to step foot in the door. I really didn't get along with my foster parents at first, but I grew to love them almost as much as I love my parents.

I sit on the floor as I cry I wonder why is this happening I don't want a new "mom" or "dad" My foster parents say they love me I think I love them too How can I love these people The government took me away from my family How can I love these people I am forced to live with I love them I know why They love me back They care and want me to get home I understand now I am very loved by my parents and my foster parents
